I can see no speed difference if there is no text in the graphics:

In[1]:= pts=Table[Random[],{10000},{2}];

In[2]:=
Block[{$FormatType=InputForm},Show[Graphics[{Line[pts]}]]];//Timing//First
Out[2]= 0.16 Second

In[3]:= $FormatType
Out[3]= StandardForm

In[4]:= Show[Graphics[{ Line[pts]}]];//Timing//First Out[4]= 0.16 Second

Cheers,
